Got a problem I hope someone can help me with. I have a I Roast 11 about 2 years old. Several times over the last couple weeks during the last few minutes of the roasting process the fan will just quit blowing, the heat stays on and it starts burning my beans. I've tried cutting down on the amount of beans to about 3/4 of the recommended quanity but it still keeps doing it. Any ideas as to what could be causing this, is there a internal filter for the intake that could be plugging up or is it just getting close to the end of it's life? I can't afford a new roaster at this time and I can't stand store bought coffee anymore. Might have to commit suicide if it dies.
Okay, my IR2 moved to a new location, so I can't look at it and make any suggestions. But, it sounds to me as if you've got a wire that has gotten loose so that it makes a connection for a while, then doesn't, then does again.....
? In any case, I'd take it apart and look under the hood....see if you've got any loose connections.....
On the other hand, have you changed your profile or something like that? The fan comes on to bring the heat down; maybe the IR2 thinks you want it hotter?
Have you tried putting in a duplicate of the profile you think you are using and seeing if it happens with that one? And, does it always happen at the same place in the profile?
Okay, I've run out of ideas for now.
Let us know what you figure out....
Susan
